Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• Understand the stages of an engineering approach
• Design, evaluate and optimise solutions addressing the problem
• Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem
• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in science and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering particularly in their specialising field
• Select and rigorously apply knowledge, tools and methods in sciences and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Collaborate, work in a team
• Interact effectively with other students to carry out collaborative projects.
• Communicate in a structured way - both orally and in writing, in French and English - giving clear, accurate, reasoned information
• Present analysis or experiment results in laboratory reports

Learning Outcomes of UE

Identify correctly the number of degrees of freedom of industrial chemical processes ; write and solve mass and energy balances (without and with chemical reactions) ; assess transport phenomena in a single phase or between phases (mass, energy and momentum) ; handle easily units of measurement ; calculate the main physical and chemical properties (enthalpy, viscosity, diffusivity, density, ...).

Explain the conception and operating principles of 2 essential separation unit operations: distillation and adsorption - describe and apply adequately equilibrium laws, mass and energy balances (for continuous or batch operations), transfer kinetics and hydrodynamics - use numerical tools and softwares relative to these unit operations
